Singularity

7digitalWhat we said:“About 15 years ago I knew one day I was going to make a record called Singularity," Jon Hopkins explained on a recent Instagram post, adding, "Unfortunately back then I had absolutely no idea how to make it.” Thankfully, in recent years the British producer has honed the right skills and gained the necessary technology to create the record he has long been dreaming of. His fifth studio album sets out to tell a story which ebbs and flows between hefty techno, lullaby swirls of organic psych and even a celestial acoustic choir. An immersive experience, Singularity is a fitting follow-up to 2013's much-lauded Immunity, and testament to the great cinematic power of Jon Hopkins’ work.
